Target Shooter 1

Shooting Website of the Month
Mini Rifle as we call it in the UK is
developing fast in the country. We had the
review if the GSG rifle last month, by Tim Finley
– who by the way seems to be winning a lot of
these competitions as well.
Anyway, in line with these developments and
current competitions I thought we would look
at the US based website Tactical .22.net. This
combines an informative website, shop, forum,
news pages etc.
I have not seen anything like this website in the
UK and it is an invaluable resource for anyone
starting up this type of sport. We obviously
have the practical/ gallery rifle side of things,
but this mini rifle seems to be going a slightly
different road.
Tactical .22.net has some good review sections
for the variety of rifles used in this sport, many
of which we have access to in the UK, which is
a first. The normal Remingtons, Rugers and AR
15 clones are mentioned. The new GSG’s also
18 Target Shooter
have a good write up.
This seems to be a developing sport in the USA
as there of lots of matches that have started
to come up on the web, with resources like
Tactical .22.net being produced to support it.
We might even get inventive over here and do
the same??
The new section keeps people up to date – it
looks like the GSG 5 may not be available for
much longer – whether that is in the US or here,
time will tell.
One thing that is good is the technical
information like trigger jobs and magazine
information. Overall a good start to an
informative website. Like all the others we have
reviewed it will inevitably grow and get even
better.
